Mr. Gerard Moran:

The Chairman asked whether we had adequate resources. We operate within a framework where the resources available to Revenue are determined as part of a wider fiscal policy adopted by the Government. We understand and accept the constraints that we, as an organisation, must operate within and believe we have adequate resources to tackle this problem. The progress we have made in tackling the diesel laundering problem is an indication of our capacity, when we encounter such a serious problem, to mobilise the necessary resources and to deploy them effectively.
